Fourteen30 has an unusual mid-day opening of The Parting of the Green Sea by artist-curator Adrianne Rubenstein. Her paintings are loose and bright, from impressionistic still lifes to abstracts. Her curation hews to bright too. At the first of two members in Portland of the New Art Dealers Alliance www.newartdealers.org, Fourteen30 Gallery www.fourteen30.com 1501 SW Market Street Map 11AM-1PM Free
Bring a book to read, silently, over drinks and snacks. No talking. Recommended. We are a little worried that this has been picked up by the media. It has always been full, even when the front porch was available; this is a small venue. Silent Reading Party www.silentreadingpartypdx.com at www.beechstreetparlor.com 412 NE Beech 3PM-5 Free
